Rejected petition Allow the voting age to be 14+ for EU Referendum particularly.

The EU Referendum and all other votes for this country impact those in their youth as well. We deserve a say. It impacts us as well as you. It's our future. Let us have a say in our future.

More details

Some may argue the youth would make stupid decisions, but maybe the youth do have a reason for those decisions. Plus, a lot of youth who would just do it to mess around won't be bothered to go out and vote. The country needs more supporters. 20 million people didn't vote, decrease that number, and maybe our country can be better.
